DAY Did 1T.
NIr. Ziebach,s Letter Did Not Hasten
Church,s Appointment.


Church's Appointment.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-At the interior
department it is denied that the Ziebach
letter of withdrawal fastened the appoint
ment of Democratic governor. True, the
Zlebach letter suggested to the president
that there were nearly 100000 worth of
offices to be disposed of by the governor,
and that Democrat should have the be-
st0wal of them. But that sordid reason of
offce-SeekerS and office-getterS had no in
fuence upon Mr.. Cleveland He
had decided upon the appointment
of Judge Church, and had received
the resignation of Gov. Pierce long before
the Ziebach letter was written or received.
The real cause of the fastening of the ap-
pointment was the magnanimous with
drawal of Mr.. Day, and his urgent solicita-
ton that Democratic governor be ap-
pointed. Had Mr.. Day, with his strong
territorial following, remained in the fight.
a postponement would have resulted, not
withstanding the personal desire and deter
mination of the president to appoint Judge
Church. Furthermore, it is said that the
statement in the Ziebach letter was
MERELY CASUAL,
ana not lntended TO be argumentatlve. and
that Mr.. Zieback had no office-seekers nor
oficeholders' benefits in mind when he
made that allusion. Such was not the pur-
port OF his letter. The matter was merely
mentioned as a matter of political justice to
the territorial Democracy, that those Of
fees should be held by Democrats under
Democratic ADMINISTRATION. The facts in
the case have been misrepresented and dis
torted for partisan purposes, and to cast re-
Elections upon MI. Ziebach, and also upon
the president. Besides the annual sum
total of the offices to be disposed of would
not reach such an enormous amount, unless
all of the teachers. trustees, servants,
guards, ct cetera, in all of the institutions
of the territory should be marked for re-
moval and change. Nothing of the kind
was contemplated. Nothing of that nature
is intended probably by Gov. Church.

Springer's Omnibus BiIi Not Elk
pected TO Become a Law.
Special to the Globe.

special TO the GlODe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-There is posi-
lively no probability of the passage of the
Springer bill for the admission of Dakota
by the senate. The bill is obnoxious to the
policy of the Republican majority in the
senate, and is not entirely satisfactory to
the Democrats of Dakota. Even the most
intense divisioniSts and they who demand
statehood or blood are now asking only that
the whole matter be submitted to vote of
the people. This state of affairs is well
known in Washington, and the senate will
probably not even consider the
Springer bill. 1t is an ON
nibus institution, and undemocratic
in every line. The Hill bill will pass the
house during this session, but will not pass
the senate for the reason that, although
more liberal and Democratic than the
Springer effort, it does not leave the matter
to majority vote of tie people of the ter
ritory, but to majority vote of each sec
ton. Senator Harrison and others are
opposed To that method of voting. mas
much as there are no sections, except in
Imagination, the bill is incomplete and I'M
lawful. 1t cannot be made law. The
people of the territory should vote upon the
question of division, and the matter is of
such Importance that it should not be left
to any section or section of a section Thus
do the senators consider the matter.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Gen. Sparks,
the king of the land business, still sits COM
placently in his office enthroned upon his
own dignity, unmindful of the buzzing of
the official flies. There has been no officer
OF the government under this administra-
ton who has been obliged to endure so
much vituperation and villifcaton
as Sparks. RumorS Of his resigna-
ton have been of frequent occurrence:
and the wonder of the land has been, how
Re manages to retain his position. Dele
gate Toole, of Montana. is about the only
representative man of the North and West
who has not made it part of his daily bust
ness to abuse Sparks. 1t begins to dawn
upon the gentlemen who have been most
active i'll this fulisade against the commits
sioner that he has the confidence of the
president absolutely in land Office matters
All who have attacked Sparks have met
with dSappOintmentS of some sort. Martin
Maginnis was always and persstently loud
in his anti-SparkS sentiments. He was not
appointed governor of Montana Morton
E. Post, ex-delegate for Wyoming. and one
OF the finest gentlemen in the country, was
not appointed governor of Wyoming. NJ.
II. Day, the accepted party leader of the
Democracy of Dakota, has not failed to let
the president, Secretary Lamar aud others
know Of his enmity to Sparks. Mr.. Day
was not appointed governor of Dakota.
The gentlemen who have been appointed to
the territorial governorshps
ARE SPARKS MEN,

Land King" given the commissioner BY
the genial Manning, of Mississippi, is his
proper cognOmen. Being commissioner, he
controls his bureau automatically. He
asks no favors of any of the politicians, but
seems to quietly smile in ghoulish glee when
ever new attack is made upon him. 1t is
new idea, and it grows apace, in pOliti-
cal minds, that Sparks is acquainted with
the administration, and that the admins
tration is acquainted with the commissioner.
The much-abused Sparks policy seems to
be now regarded as the Cleveland policy.
Certain it is that whomsoever Sparks
wants left in the territorial cold,
shivering in the billiards. of white
house displeasure, ''get there" and shiver.
Sagacious men who have favors yet to ask
of the administration are beginning to see
that Sparks is very much of gentleman
and an admirable official" They are dill
gent in declaring, ~ never had any SYM
pathY with the villifiers of the commits
sioner." Some of them few months ago
were part and parcel of the pack which
was trying to run Sparks into hole and
sacrifice him. They have pitched their tune
on different scale and have had encore
verses written for them. Nothing succeeds
like success. Sparks has been successful
with the administration. To be successful
with Sparks is now the slogan

MILBANK, Dec. 31.-Gov. Mellette and
his little state equipment probably cut a
larger figure in the states and at Washing
ton than here. where the parties and the
true inwardness of their work are seen and
known. On the surface it appears that we
have state built according to the rules of
such architecture with a full corps of engi-
neers and navigators. Its wheels were
locked by the constitutional convention and
riveted by the popular vote, if there ca n be
such at an election outside of legal author
ity. But at the recent session of the con-
vention. although less than quorum
of the members attended, higher
authority than that of the people
was assumed, and the restraining clause
was rescinded. and according to logic,

REDFIELD, OAK, Dec. S1.-Most of the new
county officers have come to town to be on

New Years eve. Interested parties have
been here during the present week looking
the town over with view to establishing q
Congregational college at this point. The in
stitution it has been agreed will be located at
some accessible point in central Dakota.
This town, on account of its splendid railroad
facilities, is able to offer an inducement to
the association to locate the college here,
which 1t is thought they will not ignore. Be-
sides this, our citizens offered to do very
neat thing in the way of bonus. Just what
action will be taken in the matter is not def
nitelY known, although Redfield citizens are
quite hopeful of being able to get the college
located here. 80. H. P. Packard. one of the en-

president looked with great disfavor upon
those who started those stories. for he knew
his man and knew the accusations to be
false.
Those who have known him longest and
best say that there could not have been a
better man selected for the position to which
he has been appointed. The prosecution
of criminals and the melting out to them of
exact justice has been the study of his life.
1t will be second nature to him, not only to
deal justly with the just, but numerically
with the unjust.

the absence of the abjectly poor. In all
the older towns in the East the attention of
charitable people is demanded every winter
by the needs of people who cannot or will

The prompt and effective action of the
judge in compelling the gamblers to pro-
duce their paraphernalia, the possession of
which they denied, demonstrates his deter

and authOritatively. and argurs well, his
friends say, for the execution of the laws
by the governor. One of his old friends
says:
Judge Church was always bitterly opposed

money-getting and call 1t their profession.
